About Sacha Vaughan

I'm dedicated to enabling investment that promotes a greener economy. There is so much work to be done, get in touch to help out. Skilled in Project Origination, Asset Management, Advisory, Fund Raising, Financial Modelling and Structuring of Onshore and Offshore Wind, Solar PV, Waste-to-Energy, Biomass and BioFuels, Anaerobic Digestion, Energy Efficiency, Carbon Capture, the Hydrogen Economy and Climate projects. At Waterborne Capital, we advise clients on bankable project development, we facilitate the raising and deployment of capital, and manage project operations over the life of the asset. Through Ariya ReEnergy Investments, formed by Waterborne and Ariya Capital, we design, develop, own and operate renewable energy projects in Africa. At Opna, we created a platform focused on the origination of new climate projects and sale of voluntary carbon credits, where I was Head of Carbon Finance. I led project origination, capital raising and developed the risk engine that allowed for a risk based assessment and comparison of projects on the platform. At Ikigai Capital I helped businesses move towards more sustainable, more resilient and ultimately more profitable energy solutions. We structured, developed, managed and fully funded, technology agnostic, holistic energy solutions that optimised client operations and drove profitability whilst decarbonising their business. At the Green Investment Group, I invested Macquarie Capital’s principal in renewable energy infrastructure projects and was responsible for the asset management of a number of flagship principle assets.
